TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONOERN:

Be it known that LE'. C. KELLOGG, of Rome, in the county of Oneida, andState of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pumpsand I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the artto makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to that class of cattle or stock-pumps adaptedfor forcing water from wells, whereby the weight of the animals pumpsthe water for their own drinking, and a surplus for sheep,hogs, the.;and it consists in the arrangement of thc platform bearing torocker-beam with the oscillating cylinder placed in the well, ashereinafter described. In the accompanying plate of drawings myimprovements are illustrated- Figure 1 being a plan or top view of theplatform to the stock or cattle-pump.

Figure 2, a longitudinal vertical section, taken in the plane of theline a; rv, fig. 1; and

Figure 3, a detail View of the plunger or follower to the pump-cylinder,hereinafter `referred to.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A in the drawings represents the platform, upon which the cattle orother animals are to pass for drinking purposes. This platform A isbalanced upon centres or bearings of the cross-beam B, forming a part ofthe framing G in which the platform is'hung. One end, D, of the platformis weighted, while at the other a suitable drinkingtrough, E, is placedthat is secured to the upper end of a hollow tubular piston-rod, F. Thisrod F projects into the trough, above the bottom of the same, and belowthe trough is strapped to one side of a cross-beam, G, hung at each endto the framework of the platform, so as to rock thereon. H, a followeror plunger,'secured to lower end of piston-rod E. This plunger is madewith a double-dared or bevelled edge or periphery, around cach bevel ofwhich a packing-ring or strap of leather, a, is placed, which leather Ideem it best topass or extend a little beyond the extreme outer edgeofthe said bevel or flared portions, as is plainly shown in fig. 3 ofthe drawings. This plunger is arranged to move within a hollow cylinder,I, that at its lower end is closed with an end or head-plate, J,provided with a vulve, K, opening upwards. This cylinder I is hung bysideV trunnion-pins L to the framework M upon the inside of the cisternor well-reservoir N, so that it can swing thereon in unison with thetiltingv motion of the platform A to accommodate the cylinder to thechange-of direction vertically ofthe plunger and its tubular piston-rod.O, arailing, surrounding weighted end of platform A, and Ia railingpartially surrounding the end of platform at which the drinking-troughis placed. Q, an overflow pipe, projecting from the rear side of adrinking-trough.

From the above description it is plainly obvious that by the weight ofthe cattle upon the platform su'ch platform is caused to be tiltedthereby, which, depressing the plunger in the pump-cylinder, causes thewater contained in such cylinder to bc forced up through the tubularpiston-rod into the trough above, from which the cattle or stock are todrink it. By the double-flared or bevelled edge or periphery of theplunger or fol lower its effectiveness is much increased. By means ofthe scale-balancing bearings to the platform all side motions theretoare guarded against, and thus its friction against the sides 0f thesurrounding framework, or that in which it is hung, avoided.

What I claim as new, and desirc to secure by Letters Patent, is n Theplatform A, bearing the rocker-beam G, arranged in relation with theoscillating cylinder as herein set forth for the purpose specified. v
